Main routes: Highway 30 and Highway BB
The old town site sits high, with the Big River wrapping the south and west sides, and cedar trees near it gave the place its name. Highway 30 runs four lanes through the western side of the community, then the divided highway ends and the road turns winding as it heads west.
Route BB heads south from Highway 30 here, and most drives connect to roads like it. We pave driveways, shop and church lots and private roads with a compacted rock base and hot-mix asphalt, graded to shed water toward a ditch or an outlet. On a long lane, recycled asphalt millings and chip seal are worth pricing next to hot mix. Free estimate at (866) 490-7680, and 25% off.
Ridge and hillside drives lose their base to running water long before the asphalt wears out. We cut out soft ground, compact rock in lifts and shape the surface so runoff crosses to the shoulder instead of tracking down the wheel path. Home drives typically get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix. Where a drive meets Highway 30 or Route BB, the approach gets extra base, since that is where every vehicle slows and turns.
Driveway pavingLots here belong to churches, contractor shops, businesses along the four-lane and a few community buildings. Trucks and trailers park on them, so we size the base for the heaviest load rather than the average car. The surface gets sloped to a planned outlet, and a lot with sound base can often take an overlay and seal coating instead of a rebuild.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads and shared gravel lanes above the Big River wash at the edges first. We grade and crown them, compact rock in lifts, keep the ditches cut, then pave to a thickness that matches the traffic. Where the grade is steep, shoulder support keeps the outer edge from breaking away.
Road constructionFarm yards, equipment pads, church lots and long country drives around Cedar Hill each carry different loads. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic that will actually use it, then compact every layer so it stays put.
Asphalt paving
Ground near the Big River bottoms stays wet while the high ground above it drains fast, and one property can have both. Clay-heavy soils common in the region swell and shrink, and freeze-thaw winters lift anything holding water. Drainage and compaction decide how long a surface lasts, more than thickness does.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.
Typical ranges. Your Cedar Hill estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

It means there is no city hall of its own to deal with. What a job needs depends on the work itself and on where the drive meets the road, since an entrance onto a state route is handled differently than one off a side road. We sort that out first.
Usually yes, if the gravel is sitting on solid ground. We regrade it, add and compact rock where it has gone thin, then pave. Where gravel sits on soft clay that ruts after rain, that section gets dug out first, or the new surface follows the same ruts.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Cedar Hill typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
It can, but it has to be built for that load. On Cedar Hill properties, heavy equipment needs a deeper base and a thicker mat than a car driveway. Tell us what actually drives on it, including grain trucks and trailers, and the estimate is sized to that.
We pave all around Cedar Hill, across Jefferson County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
